MAKE A BIG TO-DO OF GOD

MAKE A BIG TO-DO OF GOD

God endows us with gifts so we can make him known—period.

God endues the Olympian with speed, the salesman with savvy, the surgeon with skill. Why? The big answer is to make a big to-do out of God. To brandish him. Herald him. “God has given gifts to each of us from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Manage them well…then God will be given glory” (1 Peter 4:10-11 NLT). Make it your life’s encore to the end of time that “he’ll get all the credit as the One mighty in everything” (1 Peter 4:11 MSG).

And when you magnify your Maker with your strengths, your days will grow suddenly sweet. And to really sweeten your world, use your uniqueness to make a big deal about God every day of your life.
